Today, AOC pushed for Joe Biden to shift leftward on four key policy issues in order earn the trust of his party's progressive wing — federal treatment of Puerto Rico, immigration, health care and climate change
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday called for Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, to shift leftward on four key policy issues to earn the trust of his party's progressive wing.
Ocasio-Cortez also elaborated on Biden's stance toward climate change, characterizing his preferred methods for combating the threat from rising global temperatures as inadequate. The remarks from the freshman lawmaker, while largely critical of Biden's platform, seemed ultimately aimed at bridging intraparty divides through securing certain ideological concessions from the former vice president. Biden, who is viewed skeptically by some liberal Democrats, has taken significant steps to consolidate broad party support in recent days, rolling out successive endorsements from former Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, President Barack Obama and Massachusetts Sen.
In an interview with The New York Times published on Monday, Ocasio-Cortez said she had not been contacted by the Biden campaign and predicted unification among the party's various factions would not come easily.
